Discover the fundamental aspects of life such as organization (cells), reproduction, growth, and homeostasis in living organisms. Explore how single-cell and multicellular organisms reproduce through asexual or sexual means, acquire energy through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis, and maintain balance in their internal environment. Witness the diverse forms of life, from bacteria and sea urchins to moss and lions, showcasing the beauty and complexity of living systems.
